What the announcement says
On September 8, 2026, the Frostrail team announced that the closed beta had ended after more than 70,000 players took part. The same post celebrated reaching 500,000 Steam wishlists. Both figures belong to that announcement: test participation is not a current active-player count, and wishlists are not copies sold. The team thanked players for feedback, livestreams and videos shared during the test.
| Measure | Reported figure | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Closed-beta participation | More than 70,000 players | Players who experienced that test, as reported by the developers. |
| Steam wishlists | 500,000 | The milestone announced on September 8, not sales or a live counter. |
| Test status | Closed beta ended | The announcement closes that test; it does not open a new one. |

What this changes for readers
For players, the immediate change was the end of this test phase. For development, the team presented the feedback as part of continuing work on Frostrail. The post did not announce the next opening date. Our official access page handles current availability, while co-op questions distinguish test invitations from session features. The release timeline places this event after the August beta launch.
